CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 288,738, dated November20, 1883,

i Application filed March 27, 1883. No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MATTHEW REEvEs, a citizen of the United States,residing at Madison, in the county of Madison and State of Nebraska,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ghurns, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in oscillating churns, having forits objects the easy and quick removal of the churn from its support andoperating mechanism, as well as providing the means to View the interiorand its contents without removing the lid. The objects are attained bythe means hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings,forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is aperspective view showing the churnat rest. Fig. 2 is a perspective viewFig. 3is an end elevation. Fig. 4 is a detailed View of the flat side ofthe pendulum and its adjustable weight. Fig. 5 is a view of the churnwith the lid or cover removed and the ends broken away, and showsposition of breaker. Fig. .6 is a detached view of the breaker removedfrom' the interior of the churn.' Fig; 7 is a detached view of the lidof the churn.

The letter A indicates the ends of the churn; A, one side; A, the otherside; A, the top; and A the lid or cover.

B are handles at each end of the churn.

C is a slotted arm attached to-one of the sides of the churn. i

\ G is a crankarm attached to the shaft of the pendulum G, and has apin, a, which enters the slot N and moves freely therein.

0' is a standard attached at the bottom to the stand J. r

O is a pendulum secured to a shaft having bearings in the top ofstandard 0'. It is provided with an adjustable weight, E, having aset-screw, e.

D is a thermometer placed upon the side of A.

A is the top or lid of the churn, and has a pane of glass, P, securedtherein, in order that the contents of the churn may be viewed withoutlifting the cover A.

The churn is provided with lugs M on each side, having openings adaptedto fit over the cross-bariL, which is attached to the stand J at anopening in the upright K, at one end, and at the other entering thestandard 0'. When the pin *0 is removed from the slot N, the churn maybe lifted off the bar L, should it be desirable to do so. I

G is a spout in the end A.

The thermometer is intended to show the temperature of the cream. Theweight E may be moved up or down the stem 0 of the pendulum, and securedthereto in any desired position by the set-screw c.

The breaker H is placed on the inside of the churn when churning, andtaken out to gather the butter. When inside the churu,it occupies atransverse position.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to securebyLetters Patent, 1s-

l. A churn-body having forked lugs at the bottom adapted to fit over across-bar, L, and

vertical slotted arm 0, in combination with removable pint, crank-arm 0,standard 0, and pendulum 0, having adjustable weight E, substantially asdescribed, and for the purposes set forth.

2. In an oscillating churn, the body AA? A, having lugs M, verticalslotted arm 0, and handles B, removable pin 1', crank O, and standard0", in combination with pendulum 0, having adjustable weight E,substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.

3. In an oscillating churn, a body AA A, having handles 13, forked lugsM, removable cover A, and vertical arm 0, in combination with crank-arm0, having removable pin c, the stand J J J, the upright K, the standard0, and pendulum 0, provided with adjustable weight E, substantially asdescribed, and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
